Heisey Candy Jars, the Later Years
by David Warren and John Martinez
4” Comport with Cover,
except this one is 6”. It
was also sporting Heisey’s
Windsor cut. The comport
is marked twice on the
stem, and has a blown bowl
and cover.
Now on with the later candies. We had quite an
impressive display for the program, including a
few very rare items.
The 3350 Wabash pattern was produced from
1922 through 1947, though the 6” Comport and
Cover was probably discontinued before 1930.
The pattern was made plain and with wide optic,
and can be found in Crystal, Flamingo, Hawthorn,
Crystal foot and stem with Marigold bowl, and
Moongleam foot and stem with Crystal bowl.
The Comport has been found in Crystal,
Flamingo and Hawthorn, and was used for Heisey
etches, most notably Frontenac, and cuttings like
Windsor (add on left). The Comport was marked
on the stem, and because the bowl and cover are
blown glass, many have been damaged and discarded over the years, making it hard to find.
Before we start in on the candy jars after 1920,
we have a little house keeping from last month’s
article. I was informed by one of our dealers at
the All Heisey Show, that he has a No. 473
Narrow Flute with Rim candy in Canary. He said
if he had one, there must be more of them out
there. Good luck finding one! Also at the show,
we discovered a candy not shown in the Heisey
catalogs. It is the same as the No. 3947
The 417 Tudor pattern was produced from 1923
through 1937, but the Oval Candy Box doesn’t
appear in any of the Heisey catalogs after 1926.
The pattern is sometimes called Wagon Wheel,
and Mr. Vogel called it Rib and Panel until the
original Heisey name was discovered. The pattern can be found in a variety of colors, but the
Candy Box has only been found in Crystal.
The 1170 Pleat and Panel pattern was produced
from 1925 through 1937, and named by Mr.
Vogel. Both the Low Footed 6” Comport and

Cover, and the High Footed 5” Comport and Cover
can be found in Crystal, Flamingo, and Moongleam.
The 1184 Yeoman Candy Boxes are the same as
the 1183 Revere Boxes, with the exception being the
6” Deep Box with Diamond Optic. While the Revere
boxes are only found in Crystal, the Yeoman boxes
have been found in Flamingo, Moongleam, Sahara,
and Alexandrite. Many of these boxes are found
with non-Heisey decorations.
The 1253 Twist 3 Cornered Mint and Cover was
produced from 1928 through 1937, and Mr. Vogel is
credited with naming the pattern. The Mint can be
found in Crystal, Moongleam, Flamingo, Marigold,
and Sahara. Though the Crystal mint and cover are
the hardest to find, they are the most affordable.
The 1401 Empress 6” Candy Box and Cover was
produced from 1930 through 1938, and is usually
marked on the back of one of the dolphin feet. It was
made in Crystal, Flamingo, Moongleam, Sahara,
Alexandrite, Tangerine, and Cobalt. Early ads refer
to this pattern as Fleur de Lis, or Lilies of France.
The 1405 Ipswich pattern was produced from 1931
through 1946. The Sandwich Glass pattern Comet
was the inspiration for this pattern, and Heisey’s earliest ads called it Early American Sandwich, but soon
changed the name to Ipswich. The 1/4 lb. Candy Jar
is the same as the Water Goblet without the cover,
and was made in Crystal only. The 1/2 lb. Candy Jar
and Cover was made in Crystal, Sahara, Flamingo,
and Moongleam. The 1/2 lb.
Candy was reproduced by Imperial
in Amber (1960 - 69), Heather
(1961 - 65), Verde (1961 - 67),
Antique Blue (1966), and Milk
Glass sometime before 1968.
Imperial made the 1/4 lb. Candy
using the lid from a Cambridge
footed tumbler in Mandarin Gold,
which is similar to Heisey’s Sahara
color, and Moonlight Blue, which
is similar to Heisey’s Experimental
Blue color (1962 - 65).
The 1430 Aristocrat Candy Jars were produced
from 1933 through 1937. The Short jar is 10-3/4”
high, and the Tall jar is 13” high. There are two
styles of lids (plain and beaded top), and the ball on
APRIL, 2004
the stem is similar to the 3404 Spanish stemware.
Both jars are usually marked, and were produced in
Crystal, Moongleam, Sahara, Cobalt, and very rarely
in Tangerine. These are one of the most prized finds
for the Heisey collector, in any color.
The 1469 Ridgeleigh pattern was produced from
1935 through 1944, though it is doubtful the 6”
Comport and Cover was produced much after 1940.
It is seldom if ever marked, and can often be had at
a bargain price from an unknowing dealer.
The 1483 Stanhope pattern was produced from
1936 through 1941. The pattern was designed by
Walter Von Nessen, named after the Stanhope
Diamond, and had Bakelite (plastic) buttons that
screwed into the handle. The 6” Candy Box is probably not marked, and found with Heisey’s Maytime,
Frosty Dawn, and Swingtime etches. This is an
extremely hard candy box to find.
The 1489 Puritan pattern was produced from 1937
through 1957, though the 1/2 and 1 lb. Candy Boxes
did not appear until the early 1940’s, and were discontinued before 1950. Both candies were made in
Crystal only, and neither one was marked. Both of
the Puritan Candy Boxes are hard to find, but
because they are not marked may be found at a reasonable price.
The 1503 Crystolite pattern was produced from
1938 through 1957. There are four candies in the
pattern. Both the 7” Candy Box and the 7” 3
Compartment Candy Box look the same with the
cover on. Viola Cudd shows the bottom of the 7”
Candy Box in the Dawn color, on page 109 of her
book Heisey Glassware. Imperial Glass also made
the 7” Candy Box and Cover in crystal, from 1957 to
1962, and these boxes may also be marked. The
Crystolite 7” boxes can also be found with a variety
of metal lids with glass finials. These were done by
a number of companies, and a few examples can be
seen on the bottom of
page 8. The 6” Candy
Box and Cover is probably the hardest of the
Crystolite boxes to find,
and is marked. The 51/2” Shell Candy Box
and Cover is sometimes

marked, and was sold as a Mayonnaise without the
cover. Cambridge Glass also made a Shell Candy
Box, but the finial on the cover is nothing like the
Heisey Shell Candy.
The 1504 Regency pattern was produced from
1941 through 1957, though the candy was probably
discontinued before 1950. The pattern is sometimes
called Wheat, and is closely associated with the
Crystolite pattern. The 7” Candy Box and Cover are
marked, and hard to find.
The 7004 Wreath 6” Candy Box was produced in
the early 1940’s and discontinued a short time later.
No pictures or descriptions of it appear in any Heisey
catalog. This is a single piece pattern, and Mr. Vogel
assigned it both name and pattern number. Both the
Wreath and Regency Candy Boxes can be found
with metal lids, but they are much more valuable
with their original glass lids. The Wreath box is very
difficult to find, so keep your eyes open.
The 1506 Whirlpool pattern was produced from
1938 through 1957. The pattern name was later
changed to Provincial, but either name is acceptable.
The 5-1/2” Footed Candy Box is marked on the
stem, just below the bowl, and was made in crystal
and zircon. Imperial reissued the Footed Candy Box
in Crystal (1957 - 65), Verde (1969 - 74), Amberglo
and Azalea (1969 - 72). Like the Ipswich pattern,
Imperial put the same Cambridge lid on a Provincial
Water Goblet to form a Candy Jar. These can be
found in Crystal, Amber, Verde (1961 - 71), and

Message from the Prez
Please forgive me if you are getting this newsletter
late. Things have been pretty hectic on my end since
the 32nd Annual All Heisey Show and Sale. There
were a few issues the dealers brought up for the next
show, and we are working to address them.
First off, thanks to all of our dealers, who brought
more glass this year than I have seen in a long time.
Attendance was down a bit from last year, but the
people who came didn’t seem to mind the Karate
tournament going on next door, or the lack of parking in front of the community center. One lady who
came to see her child at the tournament, ended up
spending $2,000.00 in one of our booths. She had
never even heard of Heisey Glass before that day!
If you haven’t already heard, Harold Willey passed
away a week before the show. It was strange not seeing the Willey’s or the Sparacio’s at the show, and
many of our customers were asking about them. Our
thoughts are with you Mildred. Carl, get better so we
can see you and Helen at next years show.
Even though he blames me for running them out of
the show, it will be sad not to see George and Eileen
Schamel set up next year. Enjoy your retirement!
The winner of this years door prize, a Crystolite
Shell Candy Box and Cover, was Regina Driver of
Port Republic, MD. Regina used to belong to the
club a few years ago, and just reinstated at the show.
Congratulations, and welcome back.
Also, welcome to Mary Beth Cahill and Steve
Champlin of Washington, DC, and Scott Heron of
Rochester, NY, who joined our club at the show. We
hold our meetings on the second Monday of the
month from September through May, at the Potomac
Public Library. I’ll understand if Scott doesn’t come
by, but we would love to meet Mary Beth and Steve.
See ya at the next meeting,
John Martinez
Membership News
Due to rising cost of producing the newsletter, and
other expenses, the club will be raising our membership fee to $7.00 Single, and $10.00 Family or
Household. These rates go into effect for March 04.

Heather (1961 - 68). Imperial also reworked the
Mayonnaise to accept the Footed Candy lid, forming
a Candy Box, which is often mistaken as Heisey. A
good rule with Whirlpool/Provincial is, if it’s not
marked, it’s probably Imperial.
The 1519 Waverly pattern was produced from
1940 through 1957, and many of the items were
designed by Horace King. When first introduced,
the pattern was named Oceanic because of it’s
plumes, waves and sea motifs, but was soon changed
to Waverly. There are three different candies in the
Waverly pattern and they can all be found with the
Orchid and Heisey Rose etches, along with a multitude of decorations by other companies. The 6”
Candy Box and Cover, Tall Footed was also produced in Honey Amber by Heisey, and these are
quite rare. Imperial reproduced the footed candy in
Crystal (1957 - 64), Carmel Slag (1966), Verde,
Antique Blue, and Sunshine Yellow (1974). They
also reproduced the 5” Chocolate Box and Cover in
Carmel Slag (1972).
The 1521 Quilt pattern was produced around 1940
and discontinued soon after. It is a small pattern consisting of a Cigarette Box, Ashtray, and 7” Candy
Box and Cover. The pattern was reworked to form
the 1533 Wampum pattern. The Quilt pattern is
often mistaken for the Wampum pattern, and both
boxes are hard to find.
The 1533 Wampum pattern was produced from
1941 through 1944. The 7” Candy Box and Cover
was reproduced by Imperial in Blue, Pink, Crystal
Satin (1980), Blue Satin (1981), and are marked L/G.
The 5022 Graceful pattern was produced from
1940 through 1943, and is mostly a stem line. The
6” Candy Box has a pressed foot and stem which is
probably marked, and a blown bowl and cover. It is
similar in shape and size to the 3947 comport pictured on the front, and can be found with the Orchid
etch. The Graceful candy is considered quite rare.
The 1540 Lariat pattern was produced from 1942
through 1957, and none of the candies were reproduced by Imperial. Horace King was the pattern
designer, and Heisey first referred to it as Gordian
Knot. Most of the candies are marked. This was
Heisey’s most prolific pattern for candies, with at
least eight I was able to find. The Footed Candy Box
APRIL, 2004
and Footed Urn Jar share the same cover. The 5”
Candy Box without the lid is a Mayonnaise, and the
lid was also used on the Footed Cheese. The 7”
Carmel Box and 7” Candy Box share the same lids
also. Most of the Lariat candies lie in the affordable
range, but if you are ready to spend some money,
look for the 8” Candy Box with a Plume Finial Cover
or the Horse Head Cover. Both of them are rare, but
the Horse Head Cover brings in the big bucks! All
of the Lariat candies can be found with Heisey’s
Moonglo cutting, as well as decorations, such as
etches, enamel, and cuttings from other companies.
The 1541 Athena pattern was produced from 1943
through 1948. None of the pattern was marked, and
it was made exclusively for Montgomery Wards.
Many pieces of the pattern were cut by Susquehanna
Glass. The 8” Urn and 5-1/2” Candy Jar share the
same cover, and the 5-1/2” Jar without the cover was
sold as a Mayonnaise. Both of these candies are hard
to come by, but may possibly be had at a reasonable
price because they are not marked.
The 1567 Plantation pattern was produced from
1948 through 1957, and was designed by Horace
King. Plantation is a favorite amongst collectors,
and the candies are no exception. The Round Candy
is better known as the Round Butter and Cover, and
shares the same lid with the Short Footed 5”
Comport, Deep and the Tall Footed 5” Candy Jar.
The 7” Candy Box and Cover is the hardest to find
of the Plantation candies, yet there were two of them
at the recent All Heisey Glass Show. All of the
Plantation candies were offered with the Plantation
Ivy etch, and they are all usually marked.
The 1590 Zodiac pattern was
produced from 1949 through
1955, and is another Horace
King design.
The panel
designs are made up of the 12
signs of the Zodiac, and the
figure on the finial of the cover
is the Greek God, Zues.
Imperial replaced the foot of
the Candy Jar with the bottom
of the cover, and reproduced it
in Crystal, Verde (1969 - 74),
Azure Blue Iridized (1969 71), Amberglo (1969 - 73),

while Lodestar was seldom decorated. Both Candy
Boxes are hard to come by, but the Lodestar box will
cost the most, being made in Dawn.
The 1951 Cabochon pattern was produced from
1951 through 1957, and was also designed by
Horace King. The 6-1/2” Candy Box and Cover was
marked, and made in Crystal and Dawn. The
Cabochon box can be found with the Orchid, Heisey
Rose, and Plantation Ivy etches.
Last, but not least, is the V960A Verlys Rose
Candy Box produced by Heisey from 1955 through
1957. Heisey made the Rose Candy in Crystal and
Zircon. Both colors were then given the Matte finish. None of the Heisey Verlys was marked, so the
only way you will know for certain it is Heisey, is if
it is Zircon. This is another hard candy to find.
The 1626 Satellite and 1632 Lodestar patterns
were produced from 1955 through 1957. They are
both the same pattern, with the exception being
Satellite was produced in Crystal, and Lodestar was
produced in Dawn, both patterns were marked. The
Satellite pattern was often decorated with Heisey’s
Matte finish on the star shaped base of the item,
Those folks in Newark must have had a powerful
sweet tooth, as is evidence by the last two articles.
There are a few general rules when it comes to
Heisey Candy Jars and Boxes. (1) If it’s not marked,
you may get a bargain. (2) If it’s in color, be prepared to pay. (3) If it has it’s original glass lid, what
are you waiting for? Buy it!
